Alice, it's Matt. You've probably seen I've been cancelled. I've been fired from all my projects. I've got nowhere to go. And I remember back when we started doing the show about five years ago, you said, oh, if you ever need anything, very kindly you'd swap it. I wondered if I'd just come and stay with you for a bit. No, you said it the first time we met. It made a real impression on me.
So I really need to come and stay with you for a while because it's got reporters outside my house and I'm getting attacked in the street.
You've explored every avenue. Have you called everybody in your phone book? You should, like, really go top to bottom.
Everyone. Everyone. I've just been cancelled by everyone.
OK, OK. I've got a solution.
Oh, thank you. Alice, I can get there in about 20 minutes.
No, no, no, sorry, not me. I think you've got Peter Mandelson's number, haven't you?
Er... Are you... That doesn't instinctively feel like that would be helpful.

Chapter 2: How does Jade's early life influence her actions on reality TV?
Her mum, who was addicted to crack. She's battled her whole life to get away from her childhood. And yet in the space of just a few weeks, she's gone from the nation's sweetheart to the most hated woman in the country. Alison Matt here from British Scandal. Matt, some news for you. British Scandal is going to Broadway! What?! Sorry, not literally. I just mean we're taking it to the stage.

Chapter 3: What factors contribute to Jade Goody's rise to fame?
It looks like a fridge.
She's agreed to this meeting to keep the peace. But the thought of tramping around on a farm in wellies makes her shudder. As she gets out of the car, an assistant greets her and ushers her through the revolving doors. Oh, my mate in then. The assistant gestures to a woman with long brown hair, sitting on one of the two big red sofas shaped like lips.
God. Remember those? Gorgeous.
Is this the era of the inflatable chair as well?
Just general tat. I mean, I'm not saying I'm glad the financial crash happened, but it wiped out a lot of stuff we did not need. What did you do? Sold lava lamps. Goodbye.
The TV producer stands, turns to Jade and gives her a huge smile. Jade can't believe her eyes. It's Claire, her old producer from Big Brother. Claire, what are you doing here? Claire folds Jade into a hug. Hi, Jade, babe. We can't wait to have you on Celebrity Big Brother. Jade's heart skips a beat. Celebrity Big Brother? John didn't say anything. Claire smiles, shakes her head. It's top secret.
And he warned, said. Claire trails off. Jade's jaw tightens.
I've got a big mouth.
Claire laughs awkwardly. Isn't that why you named your perfume? Shh. Jade nods. But deep down, she feels like she's been punched in the gut. She's told John till she's blue in the face. No more realities. She grabs her pink Motorola Razr V3. She's going to give him an earful when Claire places a hand on Jade's arm, reassuringly. John told us you might have reservations.

Chapter 4: How does the public react to Jade's controversial comments?
They are in there as a vehicle for conflict, for entertainment. And Jade's vulnerable, her mum is as well. So it's really sad that they think they're going in there to have a lovely, happy family time and we know that's not going to be the case.
Yeah, media savvy people would say, OK, wait a minute. They're not celebrities. They're being put into Celebrity Big Brother. They're being offered a lot of money, certainly a lot of money to Jackie and Jack. Why would that be? OK, Jade's outspoken on her own. What happens when we put her with her family? She's going to be more relaxed. She's going to be more candid.
And they're going to be unguarded, probably to a point where it's going to cause friction with other housemates. This is TV gold. Jade lets out a breath she didn't realize she was holding, and relief floods through her. She beams, elated. She's going to bring her mum and her boyfriend into the circus with her. We've had the Osbournes. Everyone's tired of the Beckhams. Watch out, world.
Here comes Team Goody.
I'm Leon Nafok, best known as the co-creator of Slow Burn and Fiasco. I had, of course, heard of OnlyFans, but always with a distant and quiet skepticism, a silent judgment, you might say. Who is actually using this platform?
Um, I am. Hi, I'm OnlyFans creator and comedian Gracie Kanin. I work from home now. I'm on OnlyFans. And in case you guys don't know what OnlyFans is, ask your husband.
My journalistic curiosity got the best of me when I found out that my own sister had started an OnlyFans account.
I'm not his sister, just to clarify.
It turns out a lot of what I thought I knew about OnlyFans was wrong.

Chapter 5: What role does media coverage play in Jade's downfall?
Yeah, absolutely. In the masters and servants task, obviously Shilpa had a lot of power because of the exercise, but also because people kind of respect her. She's somebody who has an authority about her generally. And now everything's shifted. These three working class women have found each other. They're doing each other's makeup. They're bonding. But it's not as innocent as that.
We're already finding that they're kind of joining together in a way that is combative. And Jade, whereas she was contained in that task, now she's feeling emboldened. Now she feels like, OK, I have some protection. I have some people that I feel like are my tribe. And now I can be a bit more outspoken. Big Brother's voice comes over the speaker again. This is Big Brother.
Would Jackie please come to the diary room? Jade grins as the housemates cheer.
Go Jackie!
Go Jackie! A few minutes later, her mum's face is beamed into the sitting room on a big screen. Jade's smile falters. This doesn't feel right. Jackie, you are the first person to be evicted. You will have to leave now. You will not be able to say your goodbyes. Jade's heart thumps in her chest. This can't be happening. They can't send her away like this without even a hug goodbye.
But before she knows it, her mother's gone. Jade feels hot tears streaming down her face.
No, they can't do that to her.
How could Big Brother be so cruel? Her mum wasn't prepared. Jade looks up, her eyes land on Shilpa. She's looking down at the table, pretending to be sad. But Jade knows this is exactly what she wanted. She hated Jackie from the start. Jade's tried to play nice, tried to play the peacemaker, but she's done with all that.
From now on, if Shilpa's got something to say about her, she can say it to her face. 16th of January, 2007. Day 15 in the Celebrity Big Brother house. Shilpa searches the kitchen. Then again. She feels her temper rising. She can't find the chicken stock cubes that she needs to make her rice dish. She closes her eyes.
